Energizer

Since we all wish our phones or tablets lasted longer we decided to hunt out a few charger packs while roaming the halls at CTIA 2012. One we came across was the Energizer multi-port charger. What makes this unique is the multiple ports for charging. One for smartphones, and another higher output port for Android tablets or even that shiny new iPad.

Energizer unveiled a new cordless charging system for smartphones like the Blackberry and the iPhone a while back. These are the sort of chargers that use a case or battery door, you just lay them on the charge plate, and they charge. The line of Energizer offerings is Qi-enabled allowing them to work with any case brand that supports Qi.

Energizer has released a portable travel kit that finally works with your iPod Touch or iPhone; and after testing it out we can say it is extremely handy. To charge the actual batter pack you can either use an AC wall outlet or fix on the DC attachment for your automobile.

Energizer has been rolling out some nice products for Mobile phone users over the last few month with some inductive charging solutions that I talked about last month. Energizer has now unveiled a new product just for iPhone 4 users called the AP1201 Rechargeable iPhone 4 Case with Built-in Battery.

Having to dig around and find the charger that fell behind your desk to plug in your phone sucks. We have all been there at one point or another. Thankfully there are all sorts of wireless induction chargers on the market that let us just sit our smartphones on a pad to charge them up.

With the number of gadgets and toys around my house that use AA and AAA batteries, I use lots of rechargeable batteries. Energizer launched new chargers a while back that charge batteries via USB when connected to your laptop or desktop computer called the Duo Charger and USB Charger.

For most people, a battery is a mysterious little pack of magic, containing the juice that makes our gadgets flash and bleep (and then run out just when we really need them). For Energizer, it seems, batteries are an opportunity to perform some mild deception: it turns out that inside the chunky, D-sized casing of an Energizer rechargeable is a spacer-clad sub-C cellAA battery offering far less power than you'd expect.

Update: Commenter huskyboy1978 points out that's not an AA battery, but a production-sized sub-C cell.
